1 Αινείτε τον Κύριον. Αινείτε το όνομα του Κυρίου· αινείτε, δούλοι του Κυρίου, 2 Οι ιστάμενοι εν τω οίκω του Κυρίου, εν ταις αυλαίς του οίκου του Θεού ημών. 3 Αινείτε τον Κύριον, διότι αγαθός ο Κύριος· ψαλμωδήσατε εις το όνομα αυτού, διότι είναι τερπνόν. 4 Διότι τον Ιακώβ εξέλεξεν εις εαυτόν ο Κύριος, τον Ισραήλ εις θησαυρόν αυτού. 5 Διότι εγώ εγνώρισα ότι μέγας ο Κύριος· και ο Κύριος ημών είναι υπέρ πάντας τους θεούς. 6 Πάντα όσα ηθέλησεν ο Κύριος εποίησεν, εν τω ουρανώ και εν τη γη, εν ταις θαλάσσαις και εν πάσαις ταις αβύσσοις. 7 Αναβιβάζει νεφέλας από των εσχάτων της γής· κάμνει αστραπάς διά βροχήν· εκβάλλει ανέμους εκ των θησαυρών αυτού. 8 Όστις επάταξε τα πρωτότοκα της Αιγύπτου, από ανθρώπου έως κτήνους· 9 εξαπέστειλε σημεία και τέρατα εις το μέσον σου, Αίγυπτε, επί τον Φαραώ και επί πάντας τους δούλους αυτού. 10 Όστις επάταξεν έθνη μεγάλα και απέκτεινε βασιλείς κραταιούς· 11 τον Σηών, βασιλέα των Αμορραίων, και τον Ωγ, βασιλέα της Βασάν, και πάσας τας βασιλείας Χαναάν· 12 και έδωκε την γην αυτών κληρονομίαν, κληρονομίαν εις τον Ισραήλ τον λαόν αυτού. 13 Το όνομά σου, Κύριε, μένει εις τον αιώνα· το μνημόσυνόν σου, Κύριε, εις γενεάν και γενεάν. 14 Διότι θέλει κρίνει ο Κύριος τον λαόν αυτού· και τους δούλους αυτού θέλει ελεήσει. 15 Τα είδωλα των εθνών είναι αργύριον και χρυσίον, έργον χειρών ανθρώπου. 16 Στόμα έχουσι και δεν λαλούσιν· οφθαλμούς έχουσι και δεν βλέπουσιν. 17 Ώτα έχουσι και δεν ακούουσιν· ουδέ είναι πνοή εν τω στόματι αυτών. 18 Όμοιοι αυτών ας γείνωσιν οι ποιούντες αυτά· πας ο ελπίζων επ' αυτά 19 Οίκος Ισραήλ, ευλογήσατε τον Κύριον· οίκος Ααρών, ευλογήσατε τον Κύριον· 20 οίκος Λευΐ, ευλογήσατε τον Κύριον· οι φοβούμενοι τον Κύριον, ευλογήσατε τον Κύριον. 21 Ευλογητός ο Κύριος εν Σιών, ο κατοικών εν Ιερουσαλήμ. Αλληλούϊα.

Notes on this text (3)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
(ver. 1), "who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God" (ver. 2). Why has he added, "in the courts"? Courts mean the wider spaces of a house. He who stands in the courts is not straitened, is not confined, in some fashion is enlarged.

For so many measures of waters lie upon the clouds, yet they are not rent: but come down with all good order upon the earth. Who bringeth the winds out of their treasuries?

For whatsoever the Lord pleased that did He in heaven and in earth, and no one resisted His will.

… with how great assurance will the purified mass, standing at the Right Hand, fearing now for itself the admixture of no evil men, nor the loss of any of the good, now about to reign with Christ, say, "I know that the Lord is great"!
